Chapter 30 Fist and Stone Tablet (Part 2)

"Mother, I think the one who is going to Langjishi now is a slave. I am a free citizen. According to my rank, I should go last." Calabis explained hurriedly, "Let him be humiliated by the slave first."

At the street entrance, Claudia's slaves were ordered to hold down Langis. In front of hundreds of onlookers, they took turns to enter the knight's vagina. The tragic screams spread throughout Subura. district. Calabis looked nervously at Claudia, who was next to her with a smug look on her face. He was afraid that after the performance of these slaves was over, they would not be able to fulfill the dominatrix's pleasure and would really burn the ointment and go up to the ground.

Fortunately, Langis's cry and the price of 10,000 drachmas finally satisfied Claudia. She asked the slaves to tear Langis's clothes and threw him into the clay pit next to the construction site. , and left majestically like a general in a triumphal ceremony.

Calabis, who was clearing the way in front of the sedan chair, finally felt the stone in his heart fall to the ground. Then he saw a curly-haired girl wearing a snow-white wavy dress at the corner, holding on to the colonnade, looking at him in horror. She must have been frightened by his bloody fist fight just now, so Calabis smiled apologetically at her. The girl looked a little nervous, then turned around and disappeared into the street.

"Calabis, did you actually smile at the virgins of the Temple of Vesta just now?" Claudia on the chariot hit him on the back with an oxtail, "You are a foreigner who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, no one warned you, Do you want to stay away from the virgin? Especially the virgin just now, Zeno.”

"Yes, the shelter master once told me to stay away from them. I will go to the Kitchen God Temple to work soon."

"It's a good job. Of course, it will be even better if I can become the manager of the sacristy warehouse in the future." Claudia said casually, which made Calabis very curious about where the cow is as a warehouse manager.

After punishing Langis, Claudia didn't bother to go back to her husband's mansion. She drove Calabis away and went to have fun somewhere. Karabis walked to his apartment with thoughts in mind, "It seems that my Prema fish farming plan has been approved by Luculas, but this is not enough. Luculas has a lot of money. According to Kelly's words, the budget he invested in Prima this time will not be less than 150 talents, that is, 900,000 drachmas and 3.6 million sesterces. That's right. I need money now. It is unthinkable to have no money in Rome. I just practiced boxing and spent 300 drachmas, plus the rent of 300 drachmas paid in advance to Delferro. I only have two or three hundred on hand. Therefore, as long as I can get 1% of the current cost of Prema's 3.6 million, I will be prosperous. However, I don't recognize anyone in Rome at all. What should I do if I am an engineer, even half of it? I am in a hurry.”

At this time, Calabis was thinking wildly. In the market, a person suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes. When he turned around, he saw that it was Fan Lundina, the daughter of Hebrida, who was holding a pottery urn. She whispered to Calabis: "Yes. Please attend the funeral of a Legion veteran, after all, you have served in the Legion."

In the courtyard of Fan Lundina's shabby apartment building, there were a dozen or twenty people gathered closely. They all came to attend the funeral of a certain legion veteran (Calabis didn't even know what this guy's name was). These people They were all retired veterans living in the surrounding slums. In the neighborhoods of Rome, there were organizations similar to "guilds". Laundrymen mixed with laundresses, vendors with vendors, beggars with beggars, and retired veterans naturally also Just hang out with veterans.

The main thing for these people in the industry to get together is to have dinner together, and if someone among them dies, the rest of them will each contribute some money to try to give the deceased a decent funeral.

Most of these people were in their forties. It seemed that most of them were not doing well and were wearing rags. The bond between them was that they had served in Sulla's legion. The seventh of Calabis The legion is still a subordinate of Sura in terms of heritage, so Fan Lundina brought him in. After entering the door, Karabis heard the group of people discussing something fiercely and was too embarrassed to interrupt, so he leaned in the corner next to Fan Lundina and her mother. Haibrida's wife watched Arriving at Calabis, he smiled knowingly and gratefully.

Later, I finally heard it clearly. This group of veterans wanted to gather enough people to carve a stone tablet with an epitaph for the deceased. But after asking about the price, it was too expensive. It actually cost 80 drachmas. This group of people paid for it. The circle can't be put together, so I'm muttering here.

This dead veteran has no land, no descendants, no wife, and no decent inheritance. Does he really want to have no burial place?

The fuss made Calabis feel sour, thinking that he would have to pay for ten owls no matter what. It would be too miserable. At this time, the door rang, and a bearded man walked in. When Calabis saw it, his first impression was, what a good man! He has firm eyes, well-developed chest muscles, messy hair hanging in front of his forehead, extremely large and strong hands and feet, and legion tattoos on his arms.

After the man came in, he glanced around, and the group of veterans started to stir up excitement. They shouted: "Milu, this is not a place for you to come!"

"I came here to attend the funeral of my former subordinate." The man said.

"Milu, you have to know that you were indeed a centurion of Sura's Legion, but you later joined the Cyclops rebels in Spain, and we parted ways long ago." The group of veterans shouted.

"The man is dead, who cares about this?" said Milu angrily.

One-eyed dragon? Carapis remembered that when he was still in Asia Minor, Luculus and Pompey quarreled, and mentioned a general nicknamed One-eyed Dragon, Seteuris, saying that he had defeated General Pompey many times in Spain. It seems that this Milu should have been a fierce general under the One-eyed Dragon.

After learning about the difficulty of burying the dead without a tombstone, Milu scratched his head and said, "Although I became an enemy with this guy later, we both served in Sulla's legion in the Greek Battle of Boeotia, and he saved my life. In this way, the tombstone and epitaph will be engraved by my people. Everyone will give a cost fee of 40 drachmas! Leave everything to me!"

After listening to Milu's suggestion, the veterans had no reaction. Some were silent, and some whispered. They all didn't believe Milu. After all, they were once mortal enemies on the Spanish battlefield. It turns out that 20 years ago, when the civil war broke out between Sulla and Marius, some of Sulla's former subordinates, including Milu, who was a garrison officer at the time, defected to Marius and Cinna in Rome, swore allegiance to them, and later joined the general Cetuarius of Marius's faction and fought in Spain.

Since we were enemies, would Milu take the opportunity of carving an epitaph to cheat us of our money?
